It's.. OK. It's a bit wasted potential, since some parts of it are really fucking good (mood, graphics, and especially the visual design) but others fall flat. It's torn between being a survival horror game with lots of backstory and a simplistic balls-to-the-wall classic shooter game, causing it to not really succeed in either category.

Doom 3 is pretty fun, even if it has it's flaws (predictable ambushes, too dark in some places), I thought it was pretty cool when it was new, even though it wasn't as good as the original games.

It kind of captures the lonely feeling of the original game in some parts, and I'll honestly have to say that the monsters are actually pretty cool, even though I prefer the old Adrian Carmack and Gregor Punchatz designs.

As for the movie? It... is what it is.
I honestly think the old novels are much better (even if they have their fair share of flaws and problems), at least it has likable characters.

It's not the fact of sounding like a nerd. I was thinking of recreating the DSBOSSIT's process of recording a specific phrase and insert it in the game

There's this famous quote that John Carmack expressed in Masters of Doom (and I'm posting it at the risk of derailing the thread, which I must point out, it is not my intention to do it so), it goes like this

>Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important.

It is quite long and I'm confident it could derive in a creepy sounding DSBOSSIT alternative if the audio transforming process is replicated, but in order to do this I *need* someone that sounds a lot like him, because I am not quite sure if he would ever accept to repeat that phrase for whatever reason

That was John Romero speaking that line though.

>but in order to do this I *need* someone that sounds a lot like him
Why? It's not like Romero's voice is at all recognizable even if you reverse the sound, Icon Of Sin sounds nothing at all like a stoner.

I don't think it's going to be audible whether or not one impersonates him, because he'd have to be making a voice and then it'd be processed and distorted with audio editing software.

Me too. It would need to incorporate the Ouch Face and the Evil Grin he gets when picking up a weapon, as well as him gritting his teeth when holding down the fire button.

I'm not really sure how'd that be done, maybe he could grimace before an attack (he should just like, fire a stream of plasma out of his mouth, as if his mouth was a plasmagun), and maybe have a melee attack. He'd obviously have the pain face for the pain state, and he could display the Ouch Face when dying, and it'd result in him exploding.

If you feel like it's too limiting then git gud (learn to use the plugins/download new one).

So I'm making a map and while I'm learning the basics of mapping, before I get down to the serious work I'd like to ask a few things of you guys.

Fighting a Baron of Hell with just a shotgun and chaingun is tedious.
Fighting anything beefy with low damage weaponry is hardly interesting, no matter how clever the monster placement is. Unless you use custom monsters that are actually interesting to fight.

In doom, I believe strategy does it. Attack the player from several angles, force him to first change targets and adapt to the fight rather than just having him circle strafe a horde of monsters. Provide cover for both him and the monsters, attack him from several angles, and use monsters that compliment each other. Have floors and ceilings move in the arena, so the player has to consider timing lest he be blocked. Use labyrinth-like geometry with lots of interconnected paths to make monster AI unpredictable, have imps pose a real threat through having them flank the player while he's busy pumping lead into hellknights or something.

So, I'm currently working on a mod I hadn't worked on in like six months.
I used to keep two versions going at once, one for Zandronum and one for Zdoom, stripping out everything awesome for the Zandronum version.

The mod is basically a terrible gameplay change that mixes up vanilla monsters and weapons. Gives every weapon an altfire, splits up ammo types for pistol and the chaingun, and does random shit like makes hellbarons and hell knights go berserk if they're hurt too much. It's not really focused either way.
Also, spectres teleport away to another dimension when pained, and wait until you're not looking (Or out of line of sight) to come back.

>>1242124
A few things, like reloading the super shotgun when you've only fired a single barrel, making sure line of sight works with the spectres, giving the punch altfire the ability to charge your punch, etc.

Thanks. Doing 80's style stuff is a pretty good idea, but it's strange, usually when I do a rendition I don't have any expectation on what I want it to be, it just turns out as it is once I think it sounds more interesting but not completely far from the original.

So how do you think you do a big monster "arena" well?

I do remember 1 wad where you fight a hell knight up close with a shotgun, it's only a hellknight though and the proximity actually makes it quite a fight. I see what you mean though.

I like it, the other comments you've gotten like having the 80's vibe I think are well said.
I cant describe music terms and I'm not about to make the tune over vocaroo, but the part before it kicks off at 33 I think might need a bit of work.

The single droning beat in between the drums might want to be a bit weaker? Or the drums a bit sharper?

Otherwise it's good, I mean, I'm listening to it more now and maybe I'm just overanalyzing it. Also, the part at 2:57 is very noice indeed.

Have you heard this song?

Yeah I'd agree there I dont mind them. Though I would use them very sparingly in my map if it's only a couple of maps. Also they have to sort of fill a niche other monsters cant fill.

That cyborg baron is a good example, all 3 variants but especially the one with the shield and grenades. Pic related.
I also would not mind fighting a boss monster besides yet another cyberdemon.

It's very easy to do in ACS. Otherwise, you can make it so the death each monsters in the first wave opens a tiny door in a room of alerted monsters outside the map, where if the monsters cross a line after the last door they're teleported to the arena. They can in turn have similar triggers, so a whole chain reaction of doors opening happens as you kill monsters.

Just to throw an idea out, apart from the obvious theme in the image he'd have an attack of 2 homing rockets (standard revenant ones) then......I unno, lasers for the other two?

Plus the punches of course.

Hell maybe he does not even have to be the *boss* revenant, just another type.

NEW IDEA:
An entire level of revenants and revenant accessories. Something that is so unashamedly "yep, we're using revenants" that it cant be slagged off for using them too much.

>But then I think maybe he has a foul taste in his mouth from his falling out with ID.

By looking at some things/interviews he's done concerning Doom and Quake, I don't think he's too salty about it...hell, middle of last year, him and Tom Hall did a post-mortem presentation on Doom, and didn't seem too mad about things...even Tom kept his cool at the point where they went over him getting fired.

We may play it today, but you gotta realise: Doom is old. Very old, and many of the developers who worked on it have fallen away from iD one by one over the years.
Sandy Petersen left iD in 97. He now teaches game design courses at a university and works for Barking Lizards technology as a creative director. They make phone and mobile platform games...

American McGee left iD and now runs his own company called spicy horse in shanghai, china.

Adrian Carmack got jew'd by iD: they pretty much tried to fire him, because iD wanted to take possession of his huge share in their stock. If anyone, this man should hate iD.

Romero and Hall both work with Romero's wife making Social Network games and posing for Doom-related interviews and presentations. If anything, they're the most actively "doomy" of any of the doom devs.

J. Carmack quit iD recently for the same reasons he killed iD's cat back in 91...it was hampering his development of the oculus rift. Nigga builds spaceships, though, so he can do what he wants.

Only Kevin Cloud remains at iD, iirc, as their co-owner under the godless weight of zenimax.

Still, EVERYONE who worked at iD in the 90s "fell out" eventually...romero and hall seem to be the ones who are least sour about it all...but given that they're known for 2 things in their lives (doom and shitty facebook games), I can see why, since one is clearly more worthy of memory than the other.

e1 being that close probably has a lot to do with using base textures that all were a lot easier to match together compared to the other episodes, as well as it's clean layout compared to the more organic sections of some of e2 and e3.

Either way it's great that the community has surpassed the original commercial maps by that large of a leap; I honestly can't think of any other modding community where that is the case (though Doom's simplicity and age is certainly a factor in this.)

I don't see the point of doing this since idclev isn't really cheating, just used by people doing pistol starts. It (and a lot of other weapons given at the start levels) are there so that pistol starts are possible. Also pistol starts are harder than normal play anyway.

The fact that there'd be people worse than him doesn't mean he'd also be terrible. I mean, we're gonna get another not-Doom if he's in because he doesn't like that new entries are anything like old entries, and that's what Doom 4 needs, to be as fast, frantic and complex-level-design-y as the originals.

You're right, I'm being a bit one extreme or the other there. I just think that so many "reviewers" in the industry now are total halfwits who dont even seem to like gaming.

I've read reviews in the past that seem to read like the guy is embarrassed he's talking about videogames so still pretends he thinks they're for geeks.
At least get somebody to review it who regularly plays doom and not some random cock who is like "Durr bro I love doom! yeah! i played it as a kid!" to try and score cred because his rents due and he needs the money.

I also think that if it's shit Yahtzee will at least do a good job of saying why and why the original doom compares so much better to it.

Its not that its cheating. I'm actually pretty fine is idclev/-warp, and I understand some megawads intend for you to do it. Its that for megawads where you are expected to play progessively (not necessarilly required, mind you), I just find having everything laid out in front of you in the final level, including the most powerful weapon, takes away some of the fun in playing progressively.

I've made full maps for Quake DM and Team Fortress Classic. I started with a cube of indeterminate size, added small details, connecting corridors, and then as it started to shape up, made a central idea or theme for it. Eventually the cube no longer resembled the cube beyond a skybox. Occasionally I'd have an idea already in mind and just make set pieces based on it, eventually stringing them all together, but that never turned out as well.

It's not really the same thing as Doom mapping, however, I imagine creating an intricate single player map requires more foresight and planning.

That is how I sort of view my singleplayer level. The "landmark areas" so to speak where most of the action will happen and then the areas that connect them.
Currently I'm making bits and pieces of them in a test map to just see how the concept pans out before I go all out for detail.

Making a deathmatch map would be different too I imagine. You're using other human beings as enemies and not monsters so the level design is different (unless it's bots, obviously).

They sort of require different approaches.

>> No.1243627

>>1243609
My problem with that design philosophy was that I'd have interesting bits punctuating boring corridors or empty rooms. It's one thing when you start adding on twisty side wings to the main focus of the map, which in turn get smaller focal points with their own twisty passages along with secret tunnels and such, but when I started with the interesting things it made the rest of it hard to care about while playing on the map. Everyone pretty much funneled into the original areas, traversing the rest of the map took a really short amount of time, and no one really fought there because there was nothing important or something to slow players down.

I had one map where I started with crater in the center with a lightning gun in it ringed by pillars that blocked the view out of it mostly. For a while, the map was pretty much only that, and then I added some smaller details outside the pillars, spaces here and there, broken obelisks, and then I started adding ramps loosely connecting the broken obelisks. I put goodies on top like nails so players would want to risk climbing the narrow spaces that offered virtually no protection other than going fast and hoping you don't fall off.

Suddenly, you had a lot of action going on in a ring with players occasionally checking in and trying to get Mr. Thunderbolt in the center, always at the risk someone would also come and annihilate them because of the somewhat difficult platforming needed to get to it and the complete lack of cover. Newly spawned players would stay low to the ground and use cover to block shots while those with a full loadout would stand high up and try to pick people off before they got equipped or until they ran out of rockets. I had planned to make a third level of waterways, but it caused the map to become too big and unwieldy for simple DM, so instead the old designs for them were replaced with toxic waste that killed players who landed there.

I see what you mean about set pieces, that is a trick I was afraid of falling into really and to hear another mapper say it makes me realize it's a real issue to tackle.

What I was thinking of though was having the level change as you go through it, like other monsters might appear or you only traverse these interconnecting areas once (unless you want to come back and look for 100% secrets).

Well, the BFG has kind of an abstract behavior, but basically, the closer you are to an enemy, the more hits it will pick up from the BFG's "rays" (which has a hit area that's a bit like a "reverse cone" from your the impact of the projectile), now, this can be useful for running up the mug of one big monster and roshambo him in the balls, but if you're kited by archviles, you don't exactly have time to do that to each of them, one by one, it'll still tack on a lot of hits on them they're in your field of vision when the blast impacts.

Really, all I can recommend that you do is to hide behind the pillars when they try to light you up, and then spam them with the BFG. You'll inevitably take some hits, so you'll have to grab the megasphere once your health gets low. Don't worry about having health for after the fight, that'll solve itself.

Why is it that most wads that are notable/recommended just don't feel designed well to me? Am I just a purist who can't accept anything other than the 3 original episodes, or is Id's mastery in the first game just that good?

I particularly dislike the monsters in Doom 2. Chaingunners feel very cheap, especially when mappers decide to put them as traps or surprises that you can't anticipate, and they take half your health in a second. I remember playing a map that spawned a chaingunner behind your back after you picked a weapon. Holy fuck, is that unfair or what?

Arch-viles can also be major bullshit. Put a ton of enemies beside this dude and he'll just keep reviving them and waste your ammo. I also feel the damage he does is too big considering you can't dodge it.

I think I'll just stick to my vanilla maps.

Well the best thing that helped me get good at beating them was learning how long their attack lasted, you can usually get about 2 good SSG shots in before taking cover, and that's if they've just began their attack on you. It also helped to get familiar with their attack sound so if i can't see them i'll know how long i've got to take cover before i get fucked.

BFG is a quick and painless way. If you have room and time to dance with Archviles, it's almost always better to use SSG. The only exception I saw so far was the end of Map33 of D2TWID, because you just don't have enough shells to kill them there.

That would just result in the first iteration of the fractal imps in fractal doom.

They don't fly since they're not actually missiles, and they just get clumped together when they shoot so there's just a clump of revenants doing shuffling in place and blocking your movement.

If you want to do something like you've just described you'll have to create a missile that looks like revenants but isn't and spawns them when it hits something. If you go look at fractal doom's code, you can get revenants that shoot full sized revenants by having the revenants shoot CyberRevenantRockets instead of normal rockets.

I read that Revenants are made out of fallen demons in the battlefield by simply slapping some armor and weapons over'em. Also as I read in doom wiki, there are no other demon that high or large bones in the game, I can't even imagine whose giant skull was that before it put on the Revenant's spine.

Also I've been playing Brutal Doom and it's like a new game to me right now. Loved the detail that spectre demons has a chance of dropping demon strength rune, being able to remove and use hellish missile launcher's of Revenants, Torch guns of Mancubuses... And Black Metal difficulty gets me everytime no matter how hard I try. A hell noble, Revenant or Mancubus really causes you to sweat cold. Taunting Cyberdemon is fun thou.
It feels like everything Id should do back in the day. But still wish that he would add the Unmaker and Darkclaw.

You have to be very unlucky to not kill a revenant in two full SSG blasts. They've only got 300 HP and the SSG does an average of 200 per shot. The Cyberdemon, however, can never be oneshotted by the BFG in practice because it's not wide enough and the RNG makes it impossible.

Any map without any slaughterfest mindset, you cannot keep up the pace of any fast map at Black Metal difficulty unless you're a pr0-l337 speedrunner.
I'd say TNT Evilution is fine with Brutal Doom, not fast-paced and fun whenever it needs to.

It'd probably fit pretty fine.
You'd want the original TNT music though, because it kicks ass.

Nope, unfortunately.

Well, people can use it for whatever after it's released, I just want to have it premiere in Samsara to give Doomguy something interesting and unique (and thereby giving people more incentive to play as him.) In this case, it will probably just be cosmetic so that it doesn't fuck up the balance and stuff.

Ah, funny you should ask. Gonna run it by Terminus before I put them on, but i'm working on some hands based on gloves from the Doom box art. (unlike the other sprites, this one is still fairly WIP)

I really don't like how the default sprite has Doomguy remove his gloves for punching.

That's a really good sprite there.

The same can be said of any fandom really, they'll always have their assholes. Personally I think CoDBros are worse, having dealt with so many through high school. I've read most the novels, and some of the comics, but if I became one of "those" kinds of fanboys I'd have to kick my own ass.

>As for Mark....I think he's gone for the moment (hopefully not forever) because of drama bullshit I honestly do not give a fuck about. I like his work.

I prefer Sperglord Edition over Vanilla Brutal Doom, I'm mainly just curious as to what there's going to be with the new mutators, are the sprites totally new? Or just more polished old ones? I dunno.

>Opinions
I loved Halo 1 through 3, including ODST, Halo 3 was my favorite of the bunch. Halo Reach was alright as far as campaign and multiplayer go, Halo 4 was shit as far as multiplayer goes and okay for campaign. Halo 3 actually has more online players than Halo 4 right now.

>It is what the fans keep trying to make. "Add explostions, make everything 3X as fast, make everything cover the screen!". I don't like that stuff.

That I can agree with, there is some stuff in there that unecessarily slows things down or adds clutter.

To me though I viewed Brutal Doom as "Doom different" but other people view it as "Doom +". Different can still be fun in it's own way though, just look at Samsara or Reelism or anything else using custom content.
